Keratoconus Treatment FAQs for Lakewood Patients
What is keratoconus and how does it affect vision?+
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape. This irregular shape causes blurred and distorted vision, light sensitivity, and difficulty with night driving. Early detection and treatment can help preserve vision and prevent progression.
Can keratoconus be cured?+
While keratoconus cannot be cured, it can be effectively managed. Scleral contact lenses provide clear vision for most patients, and corneal cross-linking can halt progression. With proper treatment, most patients maintain excellent functional vision throughout their lives.
What are scleral lenses and how do they help keratoconus?+
Scleral lenses are large-diameter contact lenses that vault over the entire cornea and rest on the white part of the eye (sclera). They create a smooth optical surface over the irregular cornea, providing clear vision and exceptional comfort for keratoconus patients.
How long does a keratoconus evaluation take?+
A comprehensive keratoconus evaluation takes approximately 60-90 minutes. This includes advanced corneal imaging, a complete eye health assessment, and discussion of treatment options tailored to your specific condition.
Does insurance cover keratoconus treatment?+
Many medical and vision insurance plans cover keratoconus treatment, including diagnostic testing and medically necessary contact lenses. We verify your benefits before your appointment and can discuss coverage and payment options.
